(any future at all)

“(assuming, of course, there is any future at all).”  (Cunningham 64).

This quote, from Clarissa Vaughn’s point of view, shows a parallel to Mrs. Dalloway and her points of view and the themes of both books.  The Clarissa’s in both books live in the moment; the pay no attention to the future, and do not dwell on the past as anything more than memories that are gone. The respect the passing of time, and take each moment as it comes, and then lets it go.  This quote is a perfect example of this feeling in both Clarissa’s, Ms. Vaughn and Mrs. Dalloway.
